After battling over red envelopes, Chen Hao and his three companions began to pack their luggage, ready to leave.
By nine in the morning, the village chief came to the house alone, finding the four already finished packing and had moved their suitcases to the living room.
"Are you leaving?" the village chief exclaimed, then continued, pleading, "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers will be slaughtering pigs and sheep to celebrate with a feast. Why not stay for the meal before leaving?"
"I'm really sorry, Chief," Chen Hao approached and took the village chief's hand. "Due to the heavy snowfall, we've already been delayed a few days. We need to leave early today to reach Shiquan Town before dark. We're deeply grateful for the care you and the villagers have shown us these past days, truly grateful!"
